Single node Nutanix

Hi community!Is it possible to deploy single node Nutanix data center?Let’s have a scenario...I have data center on location x what is running n number of Nutanix nodes in cluster. Most of the workloads are in here.But then... we have small factory / branch office in different country what is connected with 10 Mb MPLS or IP-VPN. For better performance I need some applications to run on their local LAN. But the workload is not that big that it would require more than one Nutanix node.Can I run one single Nutanix node there and control if from single Prism instance?(I am new to Nutanix so if there is concept errors just bare with me and please explain )

jlahtelaCurrently single node setup is not possible with Nutanix.In the upcoming release (5.5), we can do this configuration

jlahtelaCurrently minimum nodes required for creating Nutanix cluster is 3.We can have a single node setup for replication, however won’t be able to run VMs on it.We are expecting this feature in our new release and expected to be released shortly.

Okay thanks for info.Do you know can it run with Acropolis hyper visor or is 3rd party needed for that?Do you have idea of release date for 5.4 update?Is it going to be this in NEXT conference, this year or H2 next year?I think in our infra this is must have feature and now I am planning our future infrastructure so this is important to me.
